Shortly after I purchased this vehicle I noticed there was a wet/musty odor coming from the HVAC vents. On some days It smells almost like a wet dog; really foul. The odor actually gets worse when it has rained or is currently raining. I've read other people are experiencing this problem and the culprit may be poor drainage in the AC system. I have no warranty to cover this kind of repair so I'll be doing more research soon.
we buy the vehicle from a local certified dealer here in Miami, fl after a couple of days having the car. we noticed a wet smell like a wet cat during those days it was raining in Miami.
so we decided to hold done maybe the rug got wet. three days pass beautiful sonny days and the smell was still there we took the car to the back dealer (we extended warranty up to 7000k ) they clean the car shampoo detail the smell still there.we when back to the dealer they exchange the car for us for another toyota yaris 2008 and the smell is there.
we took vehicle back to dealer again they clean the car and we living with this smell and trying to get us to it. Please if any one is having similar problems please take your time to add a complaint.
